Hi all! My name is Kat. I’m currently 25 years old, but my 26th Birthday is on May 19. I always said 25 was “my year” to become the woman I always wanted to be. And while I’m DEFINITELY mentally and emotionally stronger, I can’t really say that about my physical form. I want to lose 15 POUNDS by my birthday and feel stronger in the process!
A little about me - I was a swimmer for 15 years. So I AM strong.... it just doesn’t quite look like it.
I’m a vegetarian and also dairy free. I have a gluten allergy, so I also stay away from that. I do eat eggs, though!
I currently work out 3-4 times a week but I really would like to make that a solid 4-5.
I absolutely dread working out but LOVE the feeling afterwards. Plus my gym has a hot tub for afterwards
I’m looking forward to meeting some of you so you can help kick my butt and keep me on track!

15lbs in that time frame and to lose in a healthy way isn't going to be possible, but 10lbs is certainly more achievable and will make a huge difference
Log everything you eat. Keep moving. Have patience.
Ps my son shares your birthday... and it's the date of the Royal wedding so it's a great date all round
All the best.1 -
Yes! The royal Wedding! I also have another wedding to go to that night... so just another reason to celebrate!
The reason I said 15 pounds is because about 4 years ago I did a month long diet plan and lost 11 pounds without really trying, so just wishful thinking! Hah.0 -
You got this!!1
